The relation between Mao Dun's whole life and the revolution of China is very close. At the period of the Great Revolution, he was a occupational Revolutionist, not only an amateur writer.

All the works had strong tendency to participate in the struggle history of modern revolutionary of China. So Mao Dun's works were considered to be scientific papers and social encyclopedia, even the social literature.

After the failure of the Great Revolution, the writer, as a Chinese traditional intellectual, was abandoned and marginalized. He was in the double pressure of the material and spirit, so under cover of"falling in love",he had to write and vent.

During the whole process of career pursuit and the adventure against the fate, Wu Sun Fu have shown a nameless anxiety and tension, unspeakable loneliness, depression, and accompanied with shaking and deserting. ( 3 ) ambivalent emotion looming and sigh of heroic failure From the large gaps between the motivation of creating works and the actual results produced by them, we can find that , after all, a rational starting point could not cover emotional light. Wu Sun Fu is a bold and ambitious, resolute and decisive tough guy. As a hero, he didn't bow to the suffering, but have courage to struggle and face the destruction. The writer told us a spirit, caused the reader a strong resonance the tragic fate of a spirit. Readers have found that a rational starting point could not cover emotional light.Chapter3: torture the soul closely and reappear the temporal anguishThis chapter will analyze the emotional features showed by the novels corrosion and Frost leaves More Gorgeous than Flowers in February In the novels corrosion, the writer used Psychological description to reveal the inner world of unique characters, with touching Charm.
